![[2+64G] Android Car Radio for Ford F150 F250 F350 Fusion Edge Explorer Taurus Freestar - Wireless Carplay and Android Auto - 7 Inch Touchscreen Car Stereo with EQ Settings + AHD Backup Camera](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41zQNxDnKJL._AC_.jpg)
Installed this in a 2006 F-250. Quite happy with it, it has good sound quality even with old factory speakers, although I was mainly just looking for something to work with my phone's map and to receive the audio/Bluetooth. It has a sleek look and was well worth the time and effort. I self-installed this and it wasn't very difficult with the help of a couple YouTube videos.
I have a few minor gripes that I can't blame the manufacturer for. One is that without a dial changing the volume is a little bit of a hassle. I like the look of the solid glass face, but it is a little annoying trying to tap the small volume up or down spots while driving, a classic knob is preferred, at least by me. Alpine also uses a security feature to ensure the car is in park with the parking brake on before accessing some settings. I totally understand this is a safety matter but for me I was unwilling to locate and tap into the brake wiring. Granted there are other options out there to bypass this which I HEAR work well...... Final gripe is that in order to use Android Auto you must have it connected via USB. It works really well when hooked up, but would be even more useful if it was a wireless connection.
That whining aside, happy with the final result and it is a worthwhile upgrade and expense.
